CSPD: ‘Known' theft suspects who previously evaded police arrested
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) has arrested two theft suspects who had previously escaped police days prior.
On Wednesday, May 14, CSPD's Motor Vehicle Theft unit was contacted by Falcon Patrol over a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of the Park Inn located at 3200 North Chestnut Street. Falcon officers also identified two known thieves, 33-year-old Jeffery Gaw and 25-year-old Anastayshia Simon, who had been seen driving the stolen car, a 2001 blue Dodge 1500 pickup truck.
According to CSPD, two days prior, officers had attempted to stop the two suspects while they were in control of the stolen car, but they escaped.
At around 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 15, detectives with the Motor Vehicle Theft unit conducted surveillance of the vehicle and identified Simon as the front passenger and Gaw as the driver.
Due to the previous noncompliance with officers, a detective grappled the car at the intersection of New Center Point and Constitution Avenue, and both individuals surrendered to police. Both are facing charges of Motor Vehicle Theft, and Gaw was also charged with Felony Eluding.
